Abstract
The research proposed a novel LED driver with the functions of power-factor correction (PFC) and current balancing. A flyback converter and a Class-D series resonant converter were integrated by sharing an active switch to form a single-stage circuit topology. The flyback converter played the role of a PFC circuit. The component parameters were designed to make the flyback converter to operate at discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM). In this way, the input line current can be sinusoidal, resulting in near unity power factor and low total harmonic distortion in current (THDi). The resonant converter was connected in series with a differential-mode transformer with a turns ratio of 1 to drive four LED strings. The current of the four LED strings will be automatically and evenly balanced by using the 1:1 transformer. This article analyzed the different modes of operation in detail, derived the mathematical equations and designed the parameters of the circuit components. Finally, a 72-W prototype LED driver was implemented and tested. A satisfactory performance has verified the feasibility of the proposed LED driver.
